Development of a Monitoring and Management System for the Study of Energy-Intensive Processes of Processing Agricultural Raw Materials

The article is devoted to the development of a software and hardware complex for studying the grinding processes on a pendulum deformer and air movement in a cyclone separator, as well as the management of these processes. The hardware and software complex is based on Arduino and Raspberry Pi, as well as developed software that allows monitoring and monitoring of the grinding and separation process. The results of the research showed that the pendulum deformer makes it possible to determine the vitreousity of the grain with an error of no more than 2%, and also, due to the use of a new grinding method, to obtain a greater extraction of endosperm, and, consequently, to obtain more flour and crouppodun products. The efficiency of the cyclone separator exceeded 99.5%, while the air flow rate was 376 m³ / h, 472 m³ / h and 516 m³ / h, and AP less than 600 Pa. The velocity in the inlet branch of the screw insert was 18-20 m / s, and at the exit of the screw insert the airflow velocity is 50-70 m / s.
